AV Technology Is the Backbone of the Fan Experience

In high capacity venues like arenas and stadiums, technology shapes everything the audience sees and hears. The massive video walls lighting up a goal celebration, the ribbon boards displaying live stats, the PA system delivering clear announcements  every device plays a role. When something fails, the impact is immediate. It is not just a technical issue. It disrupts the entire event.

That is where Branch Connect makes the difference.

One Platform With Total Visibility

Branch Connect is Branch AV’s custom built AV monitoring and management layer. It brings every critical AV component into one unified, real time dashboard. This includes signage players, displays, audio DSPs, PA systems, and even video walls.

In large venues where dozens or hundreds of devices must work together, this level of visibility is essential. Branch Connect gives operators the ability to identify issues early, respond in real time, and make informed decisions about maintenance, updates, and lifecycle planning.

Real World Example: Slush Puppie Centre, Kingston

The Slush Puppie Centre in Kingston, Ontario is the first venue in Canada to deploy Branch Connect as a full stack AV monitoring solution. Previously, the PA system was a recurring point of concern. Operators often learned about issues only after guest complaints or during sound checks.

With Branch Connect, that has changed.

The operations team now receives instant alerts if a speaker goes offline, a DSP shows an error, or a signal chain is interrupted. This visibility has reduced disruptions, improved the in venue experience, and removed the stress of reactive troubleshooting. The PA system is no longer unpredictable. It is monitored, stable, and reliable.

Massive Growth Opportunity Across the Sector

Branch Connect is not limited to community arenas. The platform is designed to scale, and its potential across professional arenas, stadiums, and multi use venues is significant.

Imagine this:
• Video wall panels reporting failures before events
• Digital signage players confirming content uptime around the clock
• Ribbon boards logging performance and status in real time
• DSP and PA hardware sending live fault alerts with remote diagnostics

All managed from one centralized dashboard and supported by Branch AV through Utelogy integration, custom APIs, and direct service ticketing.

This is not a concept. It is already live, already improving operations, and expanding quickly.

Why It Matters

AV systems in arenas and stadiums are becoming more complex and more critical with each season. Branch Connect gives venue operators peace of mind, consistent performance, and proactive control over every AV asset.

From the Slush Puppie Centre to future NHL level venues, the message is clear.
Branch Connect is not just monitoring. It is a competitive advantage.
